Seven GIFs of the worst volume sliders by Redditors

Just when we thought that a good software design is supposed to make our lives easier, the internet has once again come up with something ridiculous for all of us to make sense of.

When Redditor PM_ME_YOUR_WATERMELO uploaded a gif of a vertical volume slider being adjusted horizontally with the caption, “Who can make the best volume slider?” many others gave it a shot at creating the worst and most inefficient volume sliders.

Not-so-big fans of the volume slider craze voiced out their frustration over the flooding of these posts on Reddit. The moderators have taken action over this volume slider fad, isolating succeeding posts about the topic into a single mega-thread. Some were satisfied, while others became unhappy. As moderator ed588 announced, “… there are a lot of people who want the volume sliders to go, and a lot of people who don’t. We can’t please everyone, and we had to go with one side.”

Sometimes you’re really going to have to give credit to the internet users for being so damn creative.
